Something is asking for your attention. A heaviness you've carried longer than you meant to, a relationship that keeps catching on the same old hook, a quiet sense that the way you've been living isn't quite the way you want to. Maybe you've done a lot of work already — you can articulate what's wrong, but something underneath hasn't moved. That's the territory I'm drawn to. I work with adults navigating complex trauma, anxiety, and the kinds of transitions that ask you to become someone new. The work I offer is relational, embodied, and unhurried.
My work is grounded in how trauma lives in the body, mind, and patterns — and how all three are interconnected. I draw on how the brain holds and releases what we've lived through, to help you meet what's underneath the surface and move at the pace your nervous system can actually integrate.
Finding the right therapist matters. You deserve someone who will meet you with depth, presence, and care — not someone who will rush you toward feeling better before you've been fully met. If something here is resonating, I'd love to hear from you. The work isn't linear, but it's real. And you don't have to do it alone.

I don't accept insurance, which allows me to focus fully on your care — outside of the limitations insurance often places on the depth, length, and pace of therapy. If you'd like to seek reimbursement through your insurance or use an HSA/FSA, I'm happy to provide the documentation you'll need.

Over a decade in private practice, with earlier work in addiction and eating disorder treatment. What I kept noticing is that skills have their place — but pain that hasn't been metabolized lives in the body and quietly shapes everything. That recognition shaped my move into deeper trauma work.

I work with complex trauma, anxiety, relational wounds, and meaningful life shifts. Sessions begin with space to name what's surfacing. Talk therapy can be deeply healing — and sometimes it isn't enough to land insight where it actually needs to go. That's where my training in trauma and experiential work comes in: helping what you understand settle into the body and the way you live.

I'm certified in four trauma-focused approaches. EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and ART (Accelerated Resolution Therapy) help the brain reprocess and release stored traumatic memory. IFS (Internal Family Systems) works with the parts of us that carry pain or protect us from it. Anchored Relational Therapy heals the early attachment wounds that shape how we connect.
